<h1>Specify the program to open, parameters, and window class
</h1>

	<ol>
	<li>In the <b>Program</b> box, enter the name of the program you are calling.
	<li>In the <b>Parameters</b> box, enter any parameters you would like to send the program (for example, the name of a file to open).
	<li>Enter the window class for the program you are calling in the <b>Window class</b> box. Doing this makes it so that only one copy of the program will be run. You can leave this box blank if you want to.
	</li>
	</ol>

<li>For more information about security restrictions that apply to shortcuts, see <a href="ms-its:htmlhelp.chm::/shortcutov.htm">About Shortcuts</a>.
<li>You can open a Windows control panel by specifying the appropriate file in the <b>Program</b> box. Windows control panels are identified by the .cpl filename extension.
</li>
</ul>
<!-- <font face="Arial" color="Red">Query: find out more about parameters - are files the only useful thing you can do with them? Also, what does window class do besides limiting the program to only one instance.</font> -->
